over night is what I allways recomend. But in a bath make sure to use silicone . It will stick better and stays flexable with movement. Belive me you do have a small amount of move ment from not just the weight of a person but water too. all latex based caulks will yellow and crack in a shory time.

i usually wait 18 hours till a good skin has devloped.you can use a hair dryer to hasten the drying process.as long as you dont splash water above the tub height and get the caulking wet it will be ok

Usually 24 hours. You can put a floor fan there to speed the process.

Don't plan on using it tonight.
Take a shower instead in the other unit.
